I just got off the phone with a “representative from Microsoft”. She said she has been getting errors from my machine. I told her she was a scammer, and almost hung up. She gave me a Microsoft phone number and an employee ID.
She wanted to ‘prove’ she had my ‘personal’ machine information, so I gave her a shot.
She explained how to bring up a command window (cmd) and type ‘assoc’ in the window. One of the last lines in the result set is this. She verified my machine with the parameter and number below.
.ZFSendToTarget=CLSID\{888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062}
Then she said to being up the Event Viewer (eventvwr). There were a lot of error and she was going to help me get rid of them.
Since I have two PC’s up at the same time, I did the same commands on the other box. It has the same ZFSendToTarget value.
I told her she was a scammer and put her on hold. She eventually hung up. Be careful for this scam. It almost appears to be legit, except Microsoft would likely never call.
Do you have the same ZFSendToTarget value?
